Then I either:
1) In the full thread window, copy the text I want to quote from someone else, return to the rich formatting post, select a single word of the reply (your post in this case, Denise), click Quote, then overwrite the word I selected with the pasted text, and overwrite your name in the quote user="ddt0725" at the start of the quote with the user name of the person I'm actually quoting.
or
2) In the full thread window,Click Reply then Rich Formatting for the other person I want to quote in the reply, quote the text I want, then copy the quoted text including the tags from the second reply window, return to the original reply window, and paste it in.
The first method means you can quote anyone from anywhere: [8-|]
